Key papers
Göllner, L. M., Ballhausen, N., Kliegel, M., & Forstmeier, S. (2018). Delay of gratification, delay discounting and their associations with age, episodic future thinking, and future time perspective. Frontiers in Psychology, 8, 2304. What it reports: Ninety-six participants in five age groups. Delay of gratification showed no age difference while delay discounting varied with age, and future time perspective was strongly related to both measures.
Key ideas
Delay of Gratification: Choosing to wait for a larger later reward over a smaller immediate one.
Delay Discounting: The fall in a reward's subjective value as the wait for it lengthens.
Time Perspective: A person's habitual orientation toward the past, present and future, including how far ahead they look.
